I've Just Realised Now That I Would Quite Enjoy Being A Lighthouse Operator. Chilling By The Sea With

I've just realised now that I would quite enjoy being a lighthouse operator. Chilling by the sea with like one other person, carrying around a cool lamp every night and being able to let your mind run wild with all sorts of mythical wonders in the surrounding areas. That sounds nice.

A Reddit post to r/relationships from user ThrowRAlanternissues
title reads: My [26F] Boyfriend [28M] is Obsessed with a Lantern He Found at a Flea Market and It getting weird. How do I approach this?

post reads: Hello,

So, my boyfriend (28M) and I (26F) recently went to a flea market, and he found this old-style lantern that he absolutely fell in love with. He bought it on the spot, and I thought it was a cute little vintage decoration for our apartment. But now, things have taken a strange turn.

Ever since he got the lantern, he's become super attached to it. He keeps it by his bedside and even gets up in the middle of the night to walk around the apartment with it, pretending to be an old-timey watchman. He'll say things like "All is well!" or "The night is dark and full of terrors," and he really gets into character.

At first, I thought it was kind of funny and endearing as he always had an eccentric style of humour, but now it's starting to annoy me. He does this almost every night, and it's disrupting our sleep. I've tried talking to him about it, but he just tells me that he takes his watchman duties very seriously and that it's important for our safety. This issue is, I genuinely cannot tell if he’s joking.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? How do I get him to tone it down without hurting his feelings or making him feel like he can't enjoy his quirky interests?

Thanks for any advice!

TL;DR: Boyfriend is obsessed with an old lantern he found at a flea market and now pretends to be a night watchman, which is disrupting our sleep. How do I address this?

I'm so enamoured with this man

Celeste Irish translation, Build #2

I've gone and done it, I've actually held myself to a deadline for once. And with this achievement I bring a new build of my translation! This one's nothing too big, mostly just cleaning up the UI from the previous build. The good news is that, from here on out, 90% of the work is gonna be the actual in-game dialogue! With any luck, that could mean I should be able to get a translated chapter or two out in the next week or so. I'm still super passionate about this project, and I'm gonna dedicate myself to working on it more. But for now, please take this lil' build I've whipped up for the week. You can download the new build here!

Why Is This Getting Some Traction Now???? I Mean I'm Happy About It But Like, Who Are You People??? Where

Why is this getting some traction now???? I mean I'm happy about it but like, who are you people??? Where did you all come from???

(Seriously tho, thanks for the sudden support! It means the world to me and helps immensely to motivate me to continue working on this project :3333)

Celeste Irish Translation - Itch.io page

Alrighty, I got the Itch page for the translation set up, all updates for the project will be posted there from here on out :)

Quick note, updates may be infrequent, as I don't wanna burn myself out. I wanna enjoy the process of actually making this thing as opposed to rushing through it to just get it out of the way.

Will be tryin' my best 🩵

The number previously known as 174 is now 213, meaning it is unaffected by these changes.

As for the number previously known as 137 (which is now 174), the rule still applies and it will be referred to as "One hundred and seventythreetwo" from now onwards.

Always remember to familiarise yourself with the changes made to numbers with every !! NUMERICAL UPDATE !!. If you are uncertain of anything else, you can ask for the patch notes.

!!! NUMERICAL ALERT !!! The number 137 has CHANGED. It is now 174.

174 is now 213. Unfortunately, we do not know what 213 changed to, and it will be referred to as "X" until further notice.

Celeste Irish translation, update #3

Hey again folks! It's been almost a week since I last posted, but I'm glad to say that I'm feeling a lot better now and slowly getting back into my usual routine after gettin' real sick. That aside, now that I'm feeling better, I will be resuming work on the project! I wanted to provide a quick overview of how this entire thing is being done, so here it is:

Celeste Irish Translation, Update #3

Pretty simple stuff, all of the game's text is stored in a single text file in the game files. Everything near the top of the file is used for things such as menus and UI. The bottom half (With the dividing line) is where all the in-game dialogue is stored. Given how the file is formatted, I'll be doing all the non-dialogue stuff first, I also have no intention of making any texture changes, as they are not done in any other language (with the exception of Japanese in some places). Plus, I don't really have the technical know-how to get the game to swap textures depending on language :,) All that being said, I'm hoping to release something soon and I would like to gradually release more and more of the translation as I work on it for y'all to see where I'm at and potentially provide feedback! On the topic of feedback, I've also been thinking about opening an email for it when I release the first build, so that anyone more knowledgeable than me can correct my mistakes (which there will most definitely be!). The first build I put out is going to be a complete non-dialogue translation, pretty much everything in terms of menus and UI will be finished. After polishing that up a little, I'll move onto the dialogue. Anyways, that's all I had to say for this update, apologies for the long post and lack of stuff to show, I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things and I hope you'll all enjoy what I put out. Stay safe and have a good one!

I hate how people refuse to look at kid's books in book stores out of fear of being seen as childish. The kids books are always significantly more interesting??? I mean c'mon when given the choice between the "Someone got murdered and also I'm gonna have sex lol no. 83739" and "Mr. Pickleson's Magical Tote Bag and the Secret of the Spooky Apartment Block" I know which one I'm picking any day of the week.
